Industry Note:
Turn To MAC Resource For Hospice Cap Assist
Published on Fri Feb 17, 2017
Need a little help getting your hospice cap information calculated and reported by the March 31 deadline? You may find assistance with CGS’s Hospice Caps web page at http://cgsmedicare.com/hhh/financial/hospice_caps.html, which contains a contact for Provider & Statistical Report problems, a link to an article explaining sequestration’s impact on the cap, the CGS cap form, and more.
Remember: “If the self-determined cap is not received within 7 days of the March 31st due date, a Past Due letter will be issued and payments will be suspended,” the HHH Medicare Administrative Contractor warns on the site.
